Fall and Winter:
- A male and female Salmon spawn and die, leaving behind essential nutrients
- Over three thousand eggs incubate knee deep in the gravel beds
Spring:
- Approximately eight hundred alevin emerge with yolk sacs
- Coho fry live and grow in the stream for one to two years
- Chum fry move out to the ocean after one to four weeks
- Fingerling migrate downstream
Summer:
- They become smolts and enter the ocean
- Ten of the original offspring grow to maturity in the ocean.
Autumn:
- Coho and Chum usually return to their own stream when they are four years old.
Salmon Survival Threats:
- Stream intruders such as dogs, watershed pollutants such as sewage spills, urban runoff from vehicles, home heating oil leaks, pesticides, spills, and soaps all entering the stream through storm drains.
